What's Going On?

After a false start with Phantasm New Red Archives, along with the entire cast of rouge labels have moved on to Cobraside records for physical distribution. It's a long and arduous story, which I won't bore you with save to say that the troubles in distribution for us and many other labels echo what is going on in the music industry at large. It has been costly and an annoying distraction to the service we provide, but we feel that Cobraside’s independent mandate is a much better fit. Digital Archives remain out digital aggregator and are doing a splendid job, such that I would recommend them whole-heartedly for any label seeking on-line representation.

Due to police action at one of the key venues the promoter has been forced to cancel the upcoming UK Subs/US Bombs October tour of South America. It may be rescheduled next year.

Important Announcement regarding New Red Archives

The past year has seen many challenges for music labels; not least of which is the collapse of physical sales combined with meager legitimate downloads. Revenue has dropped by an order of magnitude over the past few years. Despite these trying times, NRA has tried to keep its titles in stock on their original formats albeit often relying on mail order only.
The experiment with I.L.C. distribution, which we and other like-minded labels put our hearts and moreover our releases into with great hope for a truly independent alternative, has come to an end.
It was time to move on with a more stable, energized situation. So we are pleased to announce the following new exclusive distribution outlet.

P.E.D.

Remember P.E.D. No? Well I'm not surprised, their album Post Ejaculation Depression was NRA01. Released on New Red Archives more than 20 years ago! Well they have in some way regrouped and have played a show or two. However the upcoming show on the 30th of this month with the Bouncing Souls at the Stone Pony in NJ is cancelled. It is rescheduled. So if you liked The Frog Song from At War With Society, check them out.

There's an interesting new uk subs web site, it's only been up for a couple of days and it is a bit buggy, but it promises some very interesting features.

This time however all went according to plan.

Of course a massive thanks to John and Vammy for setting everything up. There is an extensive interview with the subs from the Australian/New Zealand tour here.

REAGAN YOUTH. I expect everyone knows that surviving members of Reagan Youth have taken to the stage again. Paul (Cripple) started the band up again to play 'Hardcore By the Shore in Asbury Park NJ, at that time Paul was the only original member. Then followed a CBGB's show. Now ex Reagan Youth members Al Pike and
Javier have joined Paul. The new singer is Pat from Distraction and they have now played in London CT and Boston Mass. Keep checking with us for tour dates or go to the Reagan Youth MySpace page.
